---------------------------------------

             Summary: User/Group search is failing due to encoding issues
                 Key: RANGER-1276
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1276
             Project: Ranger
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Ranger
    Affects Versions: 0.7.0
            Reporter: Pradeep Agrawal
            Assignee: Pradeep Agrawal


if usersync process add groups with spaces in ranger admin, then to remove a user from a group it calls REST:
/group/{groupName}/user/{userName}
In this REST call if a group name contains spaces then URLEncoder.encode(s, "UTF-8") method replace these spaces with + symbol and request is forwarded to ranger-admin. Whenever Ranger receives group name with + character (rather spaces) it tries to search the received group name in db but fails to find any rows as the group name with '+' character does not exist. At Ranger admin end this process is considered as a failure of the request and ranger-admin sends the error message to the log file.
Expected : During encoding usersync process should encode spaces to %20 so that ranger-admin can decode the %20 code to spaces.
